Summer touring season kicks off this week with Fantasy on Ice, which begins Friday in Makuhari. Here’s a look at Johnny’s arrival in Tokyo today at about 2 pm local time (around midnight here in the US), and the happy welcome he received from his beloved Japanese Angels. ❤️

Fresh off the plane, and already being interviewed for Japan’s You!, which asks travelers what they’re doing during their visit to Japan.

Via @midnight_kurage. Apparently the interviewer asked him if he could do a jump, and he exclaimed, “No no no no!,” politely explaining that he’s too old to do that after just coming off a 14-hour flight [rough translation].
